About this map

The Alaska Pipeline dominates this modern topographical survey as it runs parallel to the Richardson Highway, carving a clear industrial path through the interior Alaskan wilderness near Tonsina. This alignment highlights the state's critical infrastructure corridor, where the pipeline and highway share the valley floor between steep elevations. Waterways like the Tonsina River and its tributaries, including Squirrel Cr and Bernard Cr, define the drainage patterns of the area. Notable local landmarks include Pippin Lake and the smaller Squirrel Cr Pit Lake, which sits tucked between the highway and the riverbank. Local access is represented by Tower Road, providing a localized view of the transport and utility network in the Copper River region during the early 21st century.
